Direct Challenge of Penicillin Allergy in the ED

Penicillin is the first line treatment for many issues that land patients in the ED, and an indicated penicillin allergy frequently contributes to return visits and extended hospital stays. In advance of National Penicillin Allergy Day on September 28th, Dr. Liz Calhoun interviews Dr. Dave Khan, past president of the American Academy of Allergy, Asthma & Immunology (AAAAI) and Dr. Michael Bond, professor of emergency medicine, to explore the shift towards direct penicillin challenges and how they can be implemented in the ED.
